MURANGA'S SOCIAL MEDIA USERS GOES ABLAZE ON UHURU'S VISIT

Afew hours before President Uhuru Kenyatta and His Deputy Hon William Arap Ruto makes inroads to various parts of Muranga' County, Youths have expressed their views on what they expect from The President and his Deputy.

Pregnant of expectations, youths argue that Uhuru should surprise Murang'a County residents with goodies the way he have done to other Counties like Kiambu, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet among others.

The young turks in Muranga County took to Social media, probably the only way to reach out to The Commander in Chief the Armed Forces, expressing their views while others offering advice on what should be said and what should not be said.

KK online News has learnt that there has been a statement that trended in the better part of the day suggesting that Uhuru should not visit the County empty handed.

From the post, it is written that The National Government gave Ksh 800, Million to Internally displaced persons in Siaya County while in Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Elgeyo Marakwet Counties the residents benefited with the revival of Milk processing plant while the debts of milk farmers was waived.

The post also outlined Government efforts in developing Western region by reviving Pan Paper and Mumias Sugar while in Bundalangi a state of art Bridge was in construction.

In Kiambu County, the Post which found its way to different pages of Facebook and Whatsup suggested that over 1800 tittle deeds was issued to Nguriba residents.

The youth or youths seemed very determined to reach the message home, 'Remember Murang'a the way you do to other Counties"

Many argued that The National Government has forsaken the County something that is practically debatable.

However, it is in record that Murang'a County has benefited from Kenyatta's government in terms of infrastructure ie tarmacking of roads.

Early this year Uhuru launched the tarmacking of Mukuyu Kambirwa Gwa Thamaki road a 13 kms of roads that will contribute immensely to the growth of those areas.

Another project that is expected to help farmers is Ithanga Kirimiri Gakungu To Maragua road that is said to start being tarmacked.

However the residents seem not to remember all these. "Yeah I remember these but there have been such projects in all the other Counties but what we need is the campaign goodies," one of the social media actors told KK online News.

In his earlier visit, the President announced that the Government had cancelled the tender for Nyoro Roads Construction company after residents demanded so.

This seemed like any other road side declaration since it never came to pass, Will he address the same tomorrow especially between the areas of Kangema and Kiriaini?

Time will tell.

Some of the areas that Murang'a people have shown discontent are Water projects, Airstrip in Kambirwa, Coffee and Tea sector, laptops and electrification of Public Schools among others.

During his last visit, upon murmurs from Muranga town residents over hiking of water Tarrifs by Muranga water and sanitation company, The President promised that the Issue would be addressed, it's unfortunate that he visits the town before his word waa put in practice.

KK Online News will be following the President while keeping you in the know about his visits.
